'Numbers Trivia, 2008'

Brand new year, so maybe a good time for a little change of pace...


* 111,111,111 X 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321.


* 2+2 (depending on the characteristics of 2) may often equal
less or more than 4.


* If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter "A"? (Answer... One thousand).

If 'consecutive' is still defined as "successively following without interruption, continuous"... none.

Misread 'ending' as ending digit. So I'll go with 101 (1899 to 1999).

That depends on the language.

okta = 1 (North Sami)
futatsu = 2 (Japanese)
kaksi = 2 (Finnish)
quatre = 4 (French)
acht = 8 (German)
atten = 18 (Norwegian)
